Hello everyone. I'm fairly new to astronomy and was wondering who all lives near the Fort Smith area. I may have met a few of you at the Mulberry Mnt. star party, I was the kid wandering around aimlessly asking everyone about their setups. Anyway, I'm looking for people nearby that I can get in touch with and bug with all my beginner's questions, if that's acceptable. |

I would go with at least a 8" DOB, a 10 "or 12" would be better............get the largest diameter scope you can afford and move around. nSpace01 |

sorry, i'm kind of lazy and didn't want to start a new thread just for this, but i was just wanting to double check that the star party tonight (9/10) is still a go. |
